I grew up with $20 walmart blenders, and hated anything that required a blender.

Recently bought a ninja and there is no going back. I’ll never use a crappy blender again.

Anything else like that?

    I’m extremely skeptical of your advice, as HP in my mind has always been the posterchild of abysmally bad hardware. Garbage printers, garbage laptops, garbage workstations, even garbage rack servers. You’re honestly the first one I’ve seen with a credibe-looking opinion that has anything positive to say about something they’ve made.

      No company has bad “everything”, and while HP has a lot of shit doesn’t mean that everything they make is terrible. The 8770w is one of those laptops, very well built and extremely upgradable.

      HPs consumer laptops are genuinely god awful. They have the rigidity of wet newspaper and break all the time. The guts are just a plastic sheet with the keyboard and trackpad and the rest of the guts screwed onto it. Because there are no reinforcements to this thin plastic, the hinges break constantly, even while brand new they will flex and creak during use.

      The same goes for their gaming laptops too, the OMEN brand. HP desktop workstations tend to be pretty solid and I don’t have anything to say about their consumer desktops. Printers definitely suck and the ink is criminally expensive.

      I personally wouldn’t buy anything new from them, just cherry pick what good products they have made, like that 10 year old 8770w.
